Two hours and I really have little idea. Whilst I was contacted to apply, there are other applicants. Very formal interview for the position being held next Friday. Maybe I will get through...maybe not. These processes at the best of times can be a lottery so I guess if lady-luck smiles on me I will make it.

It is a big position for certain, even the car that goes with it is amazing.

Now I wait...tick-tock.

Thank you again, and thank you Kip for that, you have peckered me up.

Mike

Thank you all soooo much. I have being doing my research on the organisation...as you do. And can truthfully say this opportunity is a gift from heaven. Far more than I could ever make as a consultant so 'here goes' as they say.

Several billion turnover and my budget will be in the region of 7.5 million for safety, environmental, training etc, oh, and Uncle Tom Cobley for those old enough to recall that terminology.

I have been told to allow at least two hours.... rock an roll time.

Out of the blue I have been invited to attend an interview tomorrow for head of health and safety with a massive company in the SW of England. 11am, send one up for me folks...please.

fingiews crossed.

Mary, you so put a smile on my face. I'd love a beer with you to put the world to rights. I have this configged to come into my outlook inbox, I read two lines and I know the post emanates from you.

It is so rare for me to ever consider being a fan to someone else.

There, must be because the grandchildren arrived - today that has made me spout out and out honesty.

Noticed today a story of a young 'lady' who at 20 years of age is in receipt of unemployment benefit. Topped up now to over 7k per annum with disability benefits. WHY? Cos she drinks 20 cans a day plus a bottle of Voddy, too ill to work, so further benefits go to fuelling this drink frenzy. GOD If I drunk that much in a week I'd be bl00dy dead.

You and I pay for that....dear-dear-dear, I truly despair, I really do.

Mike

I'm reading and taking in every single word.

Thank you.

Thanks for your valuable input Steve. I just don't know quite what to do. I'm sure my CV is of the old sort and short on buzz words but I can see your point regarding a professional one.

I must think carefully.

Mike

Right, here is the upshot. Any advice gratefully and eagerly anticipated/appreciated.

The call lasted 54 minutes and was low pressure all the way through. Essentially telling me what an awful and old fashioned 'general' CV I have and that I am going about looking for work in completely the wrong manner.

I am now told that any jobs I see advertised will attract hundreds of appliocants and my CV will likely be rejected by software scanning (how impersonal) well before a real human being gets to see it

Mary, short and sweet...oh how I like the word you used. 'Egads.' haven't heard that for positively eons.
